I received my Zero Waste bag quickly through the post and will be using it for blister packs which are not currenty recycable near where I live.
Zero Waste Bag - Small
Ordering the bag was quite straightforward and arrived in good time. Return also straightforward. Possibly a bit expensive initially till I get rid of the backlog, then should be fine.
Glad to have found a way to recycle when access to recycling facilities is so limited
My zero waste bag is the perfect size for loads of blister packs, I've started collecting from other people too, seeing as you can't pop the pesky things in the household recycling! If you can afford to do it, it gives you huge satisfaction knowing that they won't go to landfill. Or get together with someone to buy a bag between you - the planet will love you for it!
These bags are great. The small size can hold a lot (depending on what you’re recycling) and the return process is really straightforward.

I bought one of the large bags several months ago to recycle cat food pouches. It’s still going strong! I have two cats which get fed far too often and the bag has months of pouches in. It’s so good to know that they won’t go to landfill and that I’m doing something to help the environment
I love that I can recycle many different things. I ordered a large bag as I had a lot of one sort of item. However, it will be a bit longer before I fill it. Next time I think the smaller bag will be better.
I purchased the large zero waste bag so we could recycle the medicine blister packs at home rather than travel to the nearest Superdrug. I was surprised just how many we have collected so far and there's still plenty of room. I like having the convenience of dropping the bag of at the lockers at muy local supermarket
At last a way to recycle my medication blister packs without paying a fortune: I'm very pleased with my large zero waste bag + the fact that when I need to send it back there's an InPost within walking distance. I'll definitely buy again.
The perfect and only solution Ive found for recycling our blister packs - really pleased to have found them. And don’t mind paying as will probably only be an annual purchase due to the size of the bag!
